Really, though, Toronto FC should have made a tie out of this thing. The Reds were up 1-0 at halftime of the second leg thanks to a perfectly weighted header from Jordan Hamilton, but really could have, should have been up by more.

Basically, TFC was caught with its pants down, and decided not to even try and pull them back up.

The team confirmed that the sanction is for 2019 only and that "future sanctioning will indeed be reviewed."

The Ottawa Fury is taking its case against CONCACAF to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland. The question is, how quickly can the case be heard?

So far, what I am hearing from agents and players is that they’d hold off. And this is where it gets tricky for the Fury. In January, we’re going to see a surge in signings in both USL and the Canadian Premier League. And, with each day the Fury has to sit on the sidelines and not be active in the market, the team’s chances of having a competitive roster dwindles.

CONCACAF says all it has done is advise the CSA that it didn't feel the "exceptional circumstances" clause had been satisfied, but hasn't actually received any paperwork regarding the Fury.

The Ottawa Fury, at the moment, is homeless.

Canada had attempts at goal, but none on goal in a 1-0 loss to Mexico. The Mexicans will face Spain in the final.

Meow! And then something meowed! How that meow had Cansoc Twitter wowed!

But, don’t think that little bit of money turned the pitch into the Emirates. That wasn’t the point. The team has spent days on a pitch that isn’t the best. The thinking is that when Canada does walk onto the surface at Warner Park, the players will see that cricket field as an upgrade.
